Latkes, donuts, music, and community — what better way to spend the last night of Chanukah? Join Beyt Tikkun for a festive, family-friendly evening with delicious food, music, holiday crafts, games, and time together. Come hungry for our latke bar (yes, there will be fun toppings!), donuts, and other yummy treats. Rowan Katz will share songs to get us singing and celebrating. We'll close with a community menorah lighting. Rabbi Cat will also share reflections on the themes of Chanukah and how they connect to the collective liberation we need to build in our world today.

Bring your friends, bring your family, and bring your festive spirit. All are welcome! Come for the latkes, stay for the liberation. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!

🔥 We invite everyone to wear red, orange, yellow, or gold to bring some extra Chanukah color! 🔥
